HEALTH UPDATE: computer time ups aches and pains for college kids

The more time college students spend on the computer on a particular day, the more likely they are to suffer from musculoskeletal problems during that 24-hour period, a new study shows.
However, because of the small size of the study - just 27 students participated - it was not possible to determine whether particular patterns of usage or postures made musculoskeletal problems more likely.
Musculoskeletal symptoms of the upper parts of the body are common among college and university students, especially female undergrads, college seniors, and engineering grad students, Dr Jack Tigh Dennerlein of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and colleagues report in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.
